Rumor: PS3 hacked yet again, this time it might be for keeps
In theory, the LV0 decryption keys make is easy to decode any system update to the PlayStation 3, Eurogamer writes. The LV0 keys allow PS3 firmware to be decrypted on PC, and then re-encrypted with firmware 3.55 keys to run on hacked consoles.
A group called "The Three Muskateers" takes responsibility for the LV0 keys, but not the leak itself. That's all thanks to a new Chinese hacking group, "BlueDiskCFW," who planned to release and charge for custom firmware updates using The Three Muskateers' LV0 keys. To stop BlueDiskCFW from profiting off the keys, the Muskateers released them.
"You can be sure that if it wouldn't have been for this leak, this key would never have seen the light of day," The Three Muskateers write in a statement. "Only the fear of our work being used by others to make money out of it has forced us to release this now."

TTG_iKYLEWhisper-Awesome-ZaubererAAHSega You never hear of Xbox itself being hacked, just the games like call of duty etc...
I don't see why they are hacked so easily, and how did they keys get leaked.
Your a idiot, you understand that right?
Whats a RGH, a "hacked" xbox. Whats a JTAG, a "hacked" xbox. Whats a DEV KIT, a "hack"/stolen xbox. Whats a SDX, a "hacked/stolen" xbox.
DO I need to go on?
but do they go online ****?
A flashed console is a hacked console and is the closest hack compared to the firmware hacks of the PS3. Flashed consoles play online. Your argument is invalid.
Flashed xbox's are not hacked, they just have different cd drive cables making it able to read pirated disks.
No there not, you don't change any cables... You change the firmware on it.
seems to me they hacked the ps3 network. not the console. no one can actually hack xbox network. only modify consoles to their wants..

A flashed xbox is nothing like this hack, just because your changing the firmware of something doesn't mean its close to this hack at all. All your doing is changing the firmware of the xbox 360 dvd drive not the whole **** console.

Fair play to The Three Muskateers for only releasing their keys only because of someone else potentially profiting from their hard work. It will be interesting as to what Sony decide to do next...

The fact that the news post before this was talking about Sony's victory in the courts makes this even more of a lol.
